Sullivan Delivers Over 20,000 Certified Signatures to Secretary Galvin for U.S. Senate Race

Boston--Today, Candidate for United States Senate and former United States Attorney for Massachusetts Mike Sullivan delivered over 20,000 signatures from cities and towns across the Commonwealth to the office of the Secretary of State clearing the way for a place on the GOP primary ballot.

“I’m truly humbled by the all volunteer effort that pulled in close to 30,000 signatures,” said Mr. Sullivan. “Now it’s time to get to work to bring people together to unite around fixing Washington’s broken system to help middle-class families and make government work for people not against them.”

Sullivan was the only Republican candidate to have an all-volunteer force collecting his signatures. Over 20,000 of the 30,000 collected were certified by city and town clerks, reaching roughly 85% of the Commonwealth’s communities.

Mike Sullivan worked for 16 years with The Gillette Company, working his way up the ranks from the shop floor. He served as Plymouth County District Attorney and United States Attorney, appointed shortly after 9/11/2001, where he focused on counter-terrorism, prosecuting corruption and protecting civil rights. Mr. Sullivan also served as Acting Director of the Bureau of Alcholol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Washington, DC.
